.mac account/iweb address/alias

Now that I've given my home page address to thousands of people I am wondering if I can change my web site address to use one of my email aliases instead of my main .mac email. I want to make sure that people who already have the current address can still access the site. Does anyone know if this is possible?
Thanks!

You can't delete the All On My Mac as it is an automatic group to display all of the contacts that are stored "On My Mac." You can delete all of the contacts that are in the ON MY MAC section by selecting All ON My Mac and then selecting all contacts. Press delete and approve the deletion. Then, select each group under ON My Mac and delete those individually.
Then, Make sure iCloud is set as the default account in the General Address Book Preferences.

.Mac account not receiving all emails

I am not receiving all emails to my main .Mac account. I do receive emails and would never known there was a problem until people started calling to find out why I haven't responded. I have a main .Mac account and two alias accounts, but the address that the emails are being sent to are my main account. Any ideas?

The junk mailbox is empty. I checked my preferences and disabled it for now to see if that will make a difference. I do have some Rules set up to filter known "sales" emails to delete or change the color but I have not set up any rules to move or filter from friends.

.Me and .Mac accounts on one iPhone

Hi:
I feel almost stupid asking this question: I have recently gotten MobileMe to work on my iPhone, which I got in September '08. I also have a MacBook. On my iPhone I now have the .Me account as the default account, and I still have the .Mac account. So when I get a new email it goes to both accounts, which doubles the amount of space. That's not a problem since I have the 16GB model. The question really comes down to: can I delete the .Mac account completely without also deleting anything in my .Me account? They look to be identical in mailboxes and email contained therein. I haven't tried deleting that account for fear I would lose something valuable. If anyone know the answer, please let me know.
Thanks,
Medren

Since all messages remain on the server with an IMAP account, deleting one of the accounts will not affect messages that remain on the server.
I've had a .Mac account for a long time, so I've kept using my .Mac email address after the change to MobileMe. If someone sent an email to my @me address, it would be delivered to the Inbox mailbox for my .Mac address or account so I would receive it with my .Mac account or address, and vice-versa. If you are accessing the accounts as separate accounts, deleting one of the accounts will not delete any messages in server stored mailboxes.
Are all messages sent to your .Mac address or account in the Inbox mailbox for your @Me address or account, and are all messages sent to your @me address or account in the Inbox mailbox for your .Mac address or account?
If so, deleting one of the accounts will not lose any messages.

Can you move mail folders from an old .Mac account to a new .Mac account?

I hope someone can help since even the Mac Genius at the Apple Store nor Applecare seem to know.
Due to massive spam to my .Mac account & it's alias accounts I opened a new .Mac account before my old account died. However, without any answers my old account died last night. Which probably doesn't help.
1. Is there a way to move my mail folders in 'mail app' from my old .Mac account over to the new .Mac account?
2. In 'mail app' > preferences > add account > the pop-up box for the new account automatically shows my old .Mac account information, full name, description, user name. But, if I replace that information with my new .Mac account name and info no one can tell me if that automatically delete any mail folders/information from the old account.
Basically I'm lost because no one seems to understand how the system works, not even the Mac Genius.
Any ideas?

You're welcome.
Second, because I couldn't get any real answers somehow last night I managed to drag & drop my 'mail app' mail folders onto my desktop. At least I have it there, LOL.
What do you mean by Mail.app mail folders? There is a single Mail folder which contains all Mail.app data (account folders, mailboxes, rules, junk mail learned settings, etc.) except for the Mail.app preference file which stores all account information and is stored in your Preferences folder.
Did you place a copy of the entire Mail folder located at Home > Library > Mail on the Desktop?
The question is can that mail folder from the desktop be placed into mail with the new .Mac account? Some of the old folders were from "on my mac" and some with .Mac & the server so not really sure what moved to the desktop. But, at least it's something.
The answer to this question is no. User created "On My Mac" location mailboxes are stored locally on the hard drive and are not associated with any account. User created "On My Mac" location mailboxes are located in the Mailboxes folder at Home > Library > Mail > Mailboxes are are not deleted when deleting an account or changing existing account information with Mail.
When creating an account with Mail, an account named folder is created within the Mail folder at Home > Library > Mail named by the user name and incoming mail server for the account. The associated account mailboxes are located within the account named folder with the exception of locally stored mailboxes for a .Mac type account or IMAP account. Locally stored mailboxes for a .Mac type account or IMAP account are located in the Mailboxes folder at Home > Library > Mail > Mailboxes. This would be the account's Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk mailboxes if these mailboxes are not stored on the server which is available under the Mailboxes Behaviors tab for the account preferences.
Since a .Mac type account is really an IMAP account and behaves in the same way, you have the option to store Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk messages locally on the hard drive with Mail for the account preferences.
Were you accessing your old .Mac account as a .Mac type account with Mail and if so, what were/are your settings under the Mailbox Behaviors tab for the account preferences for Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk messages - storing these messages on the server or locally on the hard drive?
Since a .Mac type account with Mail is really an IMAP account and behaves in the same way, messages in the account's Inbox mailbox remain on the server and since Apple/.Mac has now cancelled this account, messages in the account's Inbox mailbox on the server have been deleted.
When you open the 'mail app' >file>add account> the pop-up box automatically has the information in there from the expired .Mac account.
Is your old .Mac account information still available at System Preferences > .Mac under the Account tab?
If so, this is where the Mail.app is getting the old .Mac account information which needs to be changed to your new .Mac account information.
If you placed a copy of the Mail folder on the Desktop for backup purposes, you can can create your new .Mac account with Mail which should not change or affect your existing .Mac account with Mail but you cannot "merge" account named folders and mailboxes between two accounts.
You can use the Import Mailboxes feature to import the old account's Sent mailbox if you did not store Sent messages on the server for your old .Mac account preferences.

Can you use an .mac alias as "from" email address in .mac account?

My .mac account is in my full name @.mac and MAIL automatically uses that as the "from" email address when i send mail. Is there any way to use one of my .mac aliases instead?

For the email account preferences for any email account, there is a Name field which you can enter anything to appear as your name when sending a message with the account and there is an email address field for the same. With a .Mac account, you cannot enter a different email address to appear as the sending email address for a message sent by the account.
You can send messages from your .Mac account alias email address but the name you have entered for the Name field under the Account Information for your .Mac account preferences will be the name shown with the alias email address when sending a message with the alias.

I have created a new (alias) email address specifically for general emails (shopping, etc). I was expecting it to pop up in Mail, Inbox next to my existing .mac account. It's not there so where do I find it?

Aliases are merely another address within the same account, you won't see additional groups of settings for them. You should however see them as an option in the pull down "From" menu when you create an email.

One .mac account two iphones multiple email address through .mac....help

HI.
I have the .mac account in my name. I added a second email address for my fiancee. have used the .mac address for me for years and recently got an iphone which the address works fine on. My fiancee just got an iphone and want to use the email address I set up for her on our imac (I sync my phone with my powerbook). However I can't get her iphone through the .mac account set up using her address. Any ideas?

You don't need to purchase a Family Pack for this.
.Mac members can purchase up to 10 additional email-only accounts for US$10.00 each, per year. (Email-only accounts include 512 MB of storage, which can't be increased.)
If you use an alias, all messages received by your finance will be delivered to the Inbox mailbox for your account. You can't create an alias as a separate email account - it uses the user name and password for your primary account.
If you purchase an email only account for your finance, it will be a separate email account - kept separate from your email account.

E.mail alias with mac account does not work...

I created an alias on my mac account. I made a new account in mail app, but am not sure what username it needs. Does it need the original username of the account holder or the part that is before the at in the alias email address?
It keeps asking for my password when checking mail, I know the password is correct as it should be the same mac account password as always right?
I need the second address for business, and it is pretty urgent. Can someone enlighten me? I tried to look it up in the help, but I don't see anything.

E Mail address on .Mac account

Is there any way to change my primary e mail adddress name,( not the alias) without quitting the .Mac account and restarting? I want to begin using the method of only sending alias e mail addresses so I can delete to get rid of SPAM once discovered by the search robots. It is too late to begin now because after three years of no spam, I got discovered this summer on my primary address? Thanks to whoever.

What password are you talking about? Do you mean your user account on your Mac?

Mail - alias non-Mac account

We have an account with a provider (non-Mac) and 1 alias. In Mail, I have addded the alias to the e-mail address field as per the instructions. When I send out e-mails from the alias, the receiver does not see the alias, but the main account name. When I try to add another POP-account, I get stuck under username and login-name because it does not accept the same entries as for the main account, while that is all the provider accepts. Mail coming in works fine. How can I solve this?
Thanks for helping me out.

IWeb - do you need a .Mac account?

I have plenty of web space with my ISP - can I use this with iWeb or do I need a .Mac account? Thanks.

Just a guess . . . but the check to see that the startup page is the right name. It may be index.htm or index.html or default.htm. You can ask your ISP tech support.
If this is the case, I'd suggest you create an alias (or link) to the page that your iWeb is generating, so that you won't have to do that everytime -- you'd just have to copy the files.
Hope this helps.

How do I add an email address for a family member to my .mac account?

Can I add an email address for my mother to my .mac account? I'd like to set up, manage and pay for an email address for her use. I thought this was possible but can't seem to navigate myself to the place where I can get an additional address.

So, after further reading I assume that I must ad an apple id for my mother. Is this correct? Can I, as the responsible party, control purchases and apps that are added to the device I have provided her? I'm not so worried about what she might do as I am what a grandchild might do without her knowledge.

How can i use iweb to work on both of my .mac accounts?

Thanks

you need to split your domains for that. see these links:
